    Scale question

    Really? So a van with commercial tags and signage that says "Pete's Plumbing", or "Faye's Floral Delivery", or "Ellen's Electrical Supply" has to stop at inspection stations?

    I think it's warmed up, and probably just as much as they say it has. But I also think they really have no idea what causes it, not anything they can point their finger to, anyway. I like all the records. The other day one place a a record high for that date, June 25th. Wow. Golly. 138 years...

    Airbus confirms its first US factory to build A320 jet

    Because Airbus has had it up to here with the French Christian Workers' Confederation. Also, while worldwide Airbus and Boeing have about a 50/50 split on single aisle passenger aircraft, Boeing as about an 80% share in the US. Airbus' current assembly facilities cannot handle the increase in...

    John elliot and the load 1 gang!

    Just to clarify things from the perspective of a driver, and because there have been some misunderstandings by several people in the past about this..... For Sprinters and Sprinter-type vans and box trucks, and for straight trucks (not tractors), you initially start off at 67% of the line haul...

    John elliot and the load 1 gang!

    A common and understandable misconception. If you want or need to know, they will take the time to break it down and tell you. It's generally not something you need to know up front, as the rate almost always turns out to be more than sufficient. If the automatic rate isn't to your liking, they...

    What to do when this happens

    Both, generally. I'm also at times smart and very literate. Depends on many factors. Much like James Brown. Haaagh! I feel good! Puss - slang for hare. Puss-laden - encumbered with hares. Not to split hares, or anything. Still like James Brown. Why, yes, yes it does! I'm actually feeling better...

    What to do when this happens

    Oh, I dunno about that. If someone is a puss-laden leper, which is pretty nasty, and I called them a puss-laden leper, I think it's still a pretty nasty name. There is a price to pay for everything. For example, it's "grammar", not "grammer". It's entirely up to you as to whether you view that...

    Because of sentences like that. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

    What to do when this happens

    My aural orifices are bleeding, and I'm gonna throw up through my oral and nasal orifices. It's OK to be rude when you're telling someone they're being rude. Moot can't spell technotard, and Bob can't spell maybe. And I ain't got no panties on. When you Go Advanced, other formatting options...

    AG Holder held in contempt for witholding Fast and Furious documents.

    I know. Surprised me, too. CBS is very picky about what goes on their opinion pages. One of the criteria is that the opinions must be based in fact and not be just a lot of blowhard rhetoric. The pieces are often controversial, but this one was an in-your-face, wake-up-America! moment. The piece...

    AG Holder held in contempt for witholding Fast and Furious documents.

    Which is why he invoked Executive Privilege and doesn't want to make these documents available to Congress, since they probably show that not only did Obama and Holder know about Fast and Furious long before they claimed to have known about it, but that one or both of them were in on it from the...

    AG Holder held in contempt for witholding Fast and Furious documents.

    From NBC's Pete Williams... Now, when you say "this guy" should resign immediately, are you talking about Holder, or the guy who gives him his orders? Obama is refusing to make documents available that almost certainly show Obama in an unfavorable light. And he's going after the Fast and...
